We are living in turbulent times. The winds of change are squalling within, among, and beyond - causing unrest within individuals, societies, and planet Earth. It is like a perfect storm is being generated regarding global social, economic, and climate conditions. In response, our world is crying out for profound change in the cultural structures that underpin the way we live within and act upon our world. A change in the way we live in the world will be driven by a change in our cultural mindset. Therefore the call of the era is for change from the inside . . . out.
